| When did LG turn into a "to be continued" drama? Isn't it proper netiquette to have concise and descriptive topic titles? It's getting annoying. |

Don't you think proper netiquette would dictate you put this rant in it's proper place?
I think you are being a little bit sensitive.
Don't worry, the Lakers will get better soon. Just try to supress your urge to nitpick about any old thing  |

I guess. Maybe I am too sensitive. It just felt like it was happening more and more lately. Maybe it's because of the losing. I thought it bother a lot of other people also. I am easily irritiable at times!  |

| Losing puts us in an unhappy place. You are not alone my friend. After the Charlotte loss I accidentally threw the dvd I recorded the game on and it almost hit my friend in the head! |

Ha! Ok, ok, sorry for the thread. I thought I was voicing the majority here. Apparently, I'm mistaken. |

I actually agree with you.
Too many people are just lazy about their titles.
I don't care if you have typos or whatnot, just make titles that tell us what the thread is about.
Otherwise it's just rude. Half the people clicking on a thread like that might
not even be interested in the topic, but they have no clue what it is until after
they click it and have to load up the page, then go back.
It's not alot to ask, I agree with ya Superboy.
(oh and I don't knock the rooks for doing it cuz they don't always know better). |

c'mon Tony Montana we are having a Dr. Phil moment here. It is a good thing. If we can prevent just ONE LGer from kicking their dog (or their younger brother) during this losing streak, we will have accomplished our mission  |

If we keep having games like the last couple, there won't be a canine safe in So. Cal.
Hell, they are playing like dogs (as Chick once called them out for during a half-time ceremony).. |

Look dude. You are supposed to make titles which have something to
do with the subject.
If you'd put "Does Kwame Need More Touches?" - we'd know it was
about Kwame Brown needing touches.
"Any of you ever wonder..." could be about ANYTHING IN THE WORLD.
You could be wondering if you remembered to shut off your oven.
If you can't get that concept, you flat-out shouldn't be allowed to start
threads |
Remember this sodapop? That's what you said in one of my threads. My a$$ you "don't knock the rooks for doing it." |

Right.
Unless they cop attitudes like you did.
At first I just mentioned you should retitle your thread.
Then you got all whiney about it and yeah, at that point it's time for rookie hazing.
The post you're quoting wasn't my first (more cordial) attempt to point out
you needed a new thread.
Get over it |

Sure post nazi, your first attempt was real "cordial." Here's an idea, why don't you go and look up the meaning of that word. And you wanna talk about whining, i'm not the one going into these ... threads as i see you do and telling people how they should do things. Do yourself a favor and take your own advice so that you can "get over it." Besides, it looks like your in the minority when it comes to people who actually give a crap about these ... threads.

I'm with superboy and sodapop (right off the bat I'm feeling a little foolish just putting those two names in the same sentence). Maybe it is the irritability born from watching our team suck but I'm always ticked off when I'm hooked into opening up these threads just because I'm curious to find out what the heck comes after the ...
9 times out of 10 it's something stupid and I realize that I've wasted minutes of my life that I'll never get back.
Stop it already!
(BTW, ... i.e. the elipses, is a frequent tool that writers use in dialogue when the character speaking is interrupted or unable to complete their sentence.)

Your thread title was "I wonder..."
Then you try and defend that to say that it shows your thread topic
because you were wondering about something
